Player Review
90 - Icon
Rivaldo, a Brazil and a Barcelona great. Sold my 90 Henry to go and review this guy, 100% worth it. In fact, I found him better than henry. Let me just give you a quick run down.
Pace: 9/10. I used an engine chem style which brought him up to 90 pace. I must say, he was quick enough and could outrun his opponents. I give it a 9 because if he had 93+ pace, he would have been a 10/10 for pace. I used him in game as a striker in a 4-2-3-1 Narrow.
Shooting: 10/10. He had a wand of a left foot and a rocket on that foot. He has 88 finishing which was good enough for me. Clinical in front of goal and you couldn't ask for more in terms of shooting. The finesse shot he had was incredible as well.
Passing: 10/10. In terms of passing he did the job fantastically. I loved his passing and he had some great curve as well to go with it.
Dribbling: 10/10. 99 in game dribbling stat. That's all I have to say. He was like a prime Ronaldinho in terms of dribbling. I would definitely this card as a CAM as well.
Defending: N/A
Physical: 6/10. Sort of weak when it came to out muscling his opponents. Especially the defenders like Joe Gomez and Varane. He did out-muscle quite a few of his opponents though. His 6'1 height helped him get past defenders and win headers.
4*SM: Good for skills, was able to get past defenders with this stat.
2*WF: Honestly, it felt like a 3* weak foot. I didn't have much of a problem with it but his weak foot is a hit and miss. If you get a chance with his right foot, you probably got a 50% chance of a goal. I would recommend always shifting him into a Left footed position though. If your playing with two strikers, play him as the right striker.
Overall: 10/10. He ticked almost all the boxes to me. He did everything right and was incredible.
